DRINK BEER. SAVE WILDLIFE.
Conservationists around the globe are plagued by the same question: "What can we do to help?" Here at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo, we have an answer: drink beer.
Raise your glass to conservation and join FONZ at our annual Brew at the Zoo, where you can sample the best beers from more than 60 craft and microbreweries. The best part? Proceeds from this festive event go towards animal care and conservation at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and around the world. Now that’s something worth toasting!

EARLY ADMISSION
Be among the first to quench your thirst at our many sweet, sweet breweries by purchasing an early admission upgrade! Early admission allows ticketholders access to the event one hour before it opens to the general public! VIP ticketholders will also enjoy this benefit. Don’t delay - only a small number of upgrades are available for purchase.

PARKING & TRANSPORTATION
FONZ encourages you to take public transportation and drink responsibly. The Zoo’s Connecticut Avenue entrance is between the Red Line’s Cleveland Park and Woodley Park Metro stops. Parking available for a fee.

FOOD TRUCKS
Drinking beer to save animals is hard work - ready yourself to continue your mission by stopping at some of the many amazing food trucks that will be on-site for the event! Credit cards are accepted at many, but not all of the food trucks. ATMs are located inside the Zoo at the Visitor Center and Mane Restaurant.
